“Julius!” “Reed? By the Goddess, I will never get used to hearing your voice when I know you are so far from here.” Reed laughs. “I would like to contact you with better news." “Has the time finally come?” “I’m afraid so.” "What's up?" “Your father proposed to Vlad a hand-to-hand fight to the death.” "What? My father is crazy. What does he think he gets out of this?” “I think your father thinks that if one of them dies, you and Romeo will hate each other and go home.” “This is idiotic. That would never happen. When's the fight? “Within two days, they the border between the forest and the city. What are you going to do?" “I’m going to do the same thing you know very well: I’m going to stop this fight.” “Do you think that if you die at Vlad’s hands, you will spare your father’s life?” “I don’t doubt my father’s strength. Between him and Vlad, I don't know which one can win, but I have to stop this fight. Only when Romeo and I are apart will they stop and think about peace,
Julius was about to go to his room when Romeo came down with his son in his arms.- It looks like my two sleepyheads woke up.- And hungry. Well I'm hungry, he already ate. Growing up like this, I think it's a good idea to start eating solid food ahead of time because he drains me off.Julius chokes and kisses Romeo's forehead.- I was going to talk to you now. But eat first.Romeo follows Julius to the kitchen, but his heart sinks in his chest. Something in Julius's simple sentence alerts him.Julius takes Ricky out of Romeo's arms to give him a chance to eat and starts looking at his son, who stretches out his hands to touch his face.Romeo was watching him, and Julius knew it, so he started making faces to make his son laugh.Romeo's hunger has passed, but he struggles to drink the entire package. It was a crime to waste what a human generously gave.- Okay, I'm done. What do you want to talk to me about?- Come on, let's take Ricky to the garden.Julius grabs Romeo's hand, and han
- I didn't go to any witch. The person I was looking for was the fairy queen. - Skyler says.- The fairy queen? Are you making fun of me?- No Julius. The real fairy queen. Julius is speechless. I wanted to ask her to end the war, but I couldn't. She can't do it. It's not her species' business. However, she told me that you might be crazy enough to go and meet Vlad and your father. She was right, wasn't she? That's where you're going. - Yes, I have to do something. they are ready to fight each other to the death. - listen. If Vlad kills you, Romeo won't be able to live. - Skyler I… - listen. I'm not saying don't go. Everyone has their own destiny. Just don't let yourself swim through his hands. The fairy told me that Romeo has a nightmare of seeing you dead at his father's hands... - It wasn't just a nightmare. It was a vision. - And even so, you are going there. This cannot happen, or the vicious circle will not end. If you see that you're going to die, kill yourself. I know
- Vlad, stop. - Rafa says, placing his hand on Vlad's arm.The boy's touch sets Vlad's blood on fire, and he lets go of the Guard, who falls coughing.Rafa removes his hand, enters the room, and closes the door, but Vlad can't free himself from the heat that his hand has left on his arm.He looks at the guard on the ground.- You're lucky to be alive. Get out of my way and tell the commander to send another guard to do your job. Tell him to look for me in the morning. Starting today, the worst jobs a guard can have await you. And you – he turns to the other guard – I hope you don't want to follow the same path.The guard bows and, swallowing hard, straightens up next to the door, carrying out what he was ordered to do.Vlad leaves.In his room, he remembers what happened. The place where Rafa had touched still vibrated with the heat of his cold hand.- May the gods help me. This must be a twisted test.He undresses to get into bed, but first, he goes to the window and looks at the gar
Rafa runs past the guard and climbs the stairs to Vlad's room. He opens the door without knocking and goes in, and the guards don't stop him.- What's wrong with him? – one of the king's guards asks the one running at Rafa's heels.- Beat me. He was drinking water, and suddenly he started running and came here.- Did he miss the comfort of the king's bed?- Shut the fuck up. Do you have a death wish?When Rafa slams the door behind him, Vlad, who isn't sleeping, almost jumps out of his body.Rafa approaches the bed and looks at Vlad intently, with eyes full of tears.“Fuck, not again.” – thinks Vlad, remembering the dream, not knowing if he was still dreaming.- What the hell do you think you're going to do? Are you some idiot? Vlad opens his eyes wide in astonishment.No, that had nothing to do with the dream he had. Rafa's words were different.Vlad sits on the bed and turns on the light.- What the hell are you talking about? And what are you doing here?- Don't try to change the
Julius was starting to get nervous. The distance was still too far, so he accelerated as much as he could without wanting to alert the police. His heart was heavy, and his thoughts were with Romeo and Richard, but he determined to arrive in time to stop their parents from committing something crazy.He knew well the risk he was taking. If what Romeo saw on the black stone of the mausoleum and which torments him to this day comes true, Romeo would never be the same, and he... he would be dead and unable to touch the being he loves most in life.He knew from the beginning that for him, there was only Romeo. Romeo was everything he had ever wanted in life but had always refused to hope to obtain. Not even a year had passed since they saw each other for the first time in the corner of the college hallway. The scent of chocolate and vanilla had been engraved in his soul like a brand made with a hot iron.Neither he nor Romeo were the same people as they were that day. So much had changed
Romeo was taken to the hospital pack, and Valkyrie was left in charge of Ricky. Romeo's faint was so deep that nothing seemed to wake him up, as he had fallen into a deep coma.“wake up, Romeo. Wake up, my pretty angel.” That sweet and familiar voice seemed to want to make him open his eyes, but he didn't want to. Opening his eyes meant admitting that what he had just heard was not a nightmare. “My beloved and beautiful son. Wake up. Look at me." The warmth from the cold hand of the person caressing him gave him such a feeling of comfort that it almost gave him the courage to face the world. In fear, Romeo opens his eyes and almost stops breathing. His mother is in front of him, smiling a smile that he has loved all his life and that he has missed so much. - Mammy? – he says in one breath as if he were still a child. The woman smiles. - My beloved son. - Mammy, how is it possible? Did I die? The woman giggles. - No, my angel. You are alive. - So how is it possible? - Don'
- Sometimes, I'm amazed how someone as young as you has so much wisdom. Yes, you are right. In Julius' absence, my loyalty is to Richard, Shane gets up and walks towards Valquirie, who has a very calm Ricky in her arms. He drops one knee to the ground, and everyone is silent, looking at the young werewolf. - I am your father's beta. Whatever happens, Richard King, I swear to give my life to defend you. Ricky smiles for the first time since Romeo left and stretches his arms to Shane. Shane, still kneeling, picks him up. - It doesn't matter what good or bad may happen. You are a very special child. Truly extraordinary. I don’t know if you have an old soul or if the gods bless you – Valkyrie says, looking at the little one who is not yet a month old – what is true is that every moment I look at you, I believe more that the future holds many good things for you and you will give the world much of yourself. There was no noise in the room, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Richard, who
40 years later, Richard, the king of the werewolves, and Blessed, his mate and queen, enter, hand in hand, the grand palace that the three species built together. It was a magical and beautiful place, built by the hands of werewolves and vampires and hidden from the world by the magic of white witches. Wonderful flowers and trees that seemed to come out of fairy tales beautified the entire exterior. Witches, vampires, and werewolves made up all the members of the new kingdom. Still, the number of hybrids that existed there had never before existed in the same space, even before the war that separated them in the past. Two big werewolves who were copies of each other followed behind the king: the beta twins, sons of Shane and Lorena. Julius and Romeo, who reigned the werewolves' throne for years after transferring the royal pack and the kingdom to their eldest son, moved to the vampire palace, where they now reign after Vlad's retirement. They were already in the palace and got u
Two months after the peace treaty was signed, Julius and Romeo sat in Baltazar's living room with all their friends. They would leave that same day. First, they would visit Vlad in his palace, which terrified Romeo a little because the damned vision he experienced twice was still engraved with a hot iron on his chest. They would then travel to the royal pack, where they would live. Aethelwulf and Elena begged too many times for them go camo home, and they complied, despite doubts about what the other members would think. One thing that rested Julius was that his father had dedicated days to looking for his old general and everyone who accompanied him. He found them weakened and living like rogues in an isolated, sparsely fertile area. Aethelwulf surprised everyone when he humbly asked the general for forgiveness and repeated it with everyone who followed the general. The general and his companions agreed to return to the pack and settled well in their old homes. The general had
- Good afternoon. To what do I owe the honor of your visit? – Aethelwulf says without losing focus on all the men.One of the newcomers removes his helmet, with his back to the king but facing his passenger. Aethelwulf sees him helping the other guy, and when the man turns around, Aethelwulf falls to his knees.Julius was in front of him with a child in his arms. After Romeo removed his helmet, he returned the pup to Romeo. The remaining bikers took off their helmets and remained silent.Elena runs and throws herself into her son's arms in tears. Vlad didn't move for fear it was a new mirage. In the end, Reed was there.The beta and his mate, who is back in the royal pack with the twins, run toward Shane and throw themselves at him, causing him to guffaw at the impact.An irritated cough is heard, and Shane leaves his parents to pick up the twins so Lorena can get out of the sidecar.- Mom and Dad, this is Lorena, my mate, and Peter and Paul, our pups.Mere seconds were all it took fo
Skyler's wolf constantly screamed in his head, but the now-called Sky ignored it or didn't even hear it.Since entering the mist, Skyler had barely left the bed where the fairy queen kept fucking him at every opportunity.Skyler looked happy, but his wolf knew he was simply under the influence of fairy magic.He didn't know how much time had passed, and he didn't even realize that he hadn't just fucked the queen but that a large number of fairies had already used him, and another large number were waiting their turn.The fairies got pregnant from the fuck he gave, and their little bodies gestated so quickly that some of their daughters were already born.In a few days, all the fairies would have spawned new fairies thanks to him, and when they no longer needed him, they planned to do to him what they had done to all those before him.Despite owing her life to Skyler, fairies were not what the childhood tales of humans said they were. They were selfish and cruel beings who only thought
The guard smiles and sneaks out, leaving the two alone.- I, I what? I asked you a question. What did you say?Vlad smiles. Yes, he was annoying, shy, sensitive, and cute as hell brat, but he had a fire in his heart and blood.Vlad approaches Rafa until he is almost glued to him. Rafa shudders when Vlad reaches out but is disappointed when he grabs the trolley handle and drags it back to Rafa's room. - What are you doing? Please give me that. I'm leaving. Give me that.The guards behind Rafa move away when one pushes the other to get out of there.Vlad opens the bedroom door without ever looking back and enters the room. Always making a fuss, Rafa angrily enters behind him and throws his backpack on the floor.- Crap. Because you're king, you can't force me to stay.Vlad turns and passes Rafa. When he thinks he will leave without answering, Vlad closes the door and turns to the boy.- You asked what I said, so you must let me answer.Rafa blushes again but huffs and sits on the bed w
When Vlad enters the palace, the first thing he does is ignore the secretary, who “hovers” over him excitedly, wanting to know the next step. - Where is Rafa? - Who? – the confused secretary asks. - Idiot. – he says, making the secretary flinch. – Rafa, the boy who was in my room. - Oh, sir, I'm sorry. I'm very excited about the news and wanted to know if it's true and what I can do. - Yes, that's true, but where is Rafa? The secretary frowns and smiles inwardly. It's really true. Vlad is in love, and that makes the secretary happy. Nothing is better than a happy and passionate king to make his life go well. - I didn't see him, sir. It's probably in his room. The king turns his back and heads towards the back of the palace. As he is about to pass the door that separates the royal part from the servant part of the palace, he hears: - I'm glad he returned before the king noticed he was missing. You two are incompetent. How did you let him get away? If the king knows, you are no
When the first rays of sunlight come through the window and hit Julius and Romeo's faces, they open their eyes. Looking around and at each other, they didn't realize where they were or how they had gotten there.- Julius, oh Julius. - Romeo says, clinging to his lover.- Goddess, Romeu. My love. I was so afraid I would never see you again. - Where are we? – Romeo asks. - It looks like our bedroom in Baltazar's pack. - But it can't be. Us… - I don't understand either.They look at each other and smile.- No matter where we are. We are together.They cried and hugged each other. - I know no one could keep us apart. Not even our gods.They kiss, and it is the most beautiful kiss they share, They get up and go to the window. - It looks like Baltazar's pack. What's happening? Did I dream it all? – Julius asks. – I was trying to stop our parents’ fight. I killed myself in front of them. You were there. - Yes, and I killed myself too. I drank the vervain. - Yet we are here. Alive
When Rafa arrived, all hell had already broken loose. He looked at the man from behind a tree without anyone seeing him. He wanted to run to Vlad and get him out of there, but strangely, his body was paralyzed. His tears fell uncontrollably, seeing everything that was happening in front of him.Powerless, he saw everything without being able to do anything.Minutes passed without anyone daring to move.The guards and warriors faced each other, expecting that the kings would attack again or order them to fight at any moment, but nothing happened.Aethelwulf crawls until he can touch Julius's body. Then, like he did when Julius was a little pup, he cradles him in his lap.Vlad looks at him.Neither seemed to want to face each other again, but the fight was not guaranteed to be over. Neither one nor the other expected that outcome.In their minds, they would face each other, one of them would win, and in the heartbreak of losing his dad, the lovers would return home.They must have kno
- Tell me, did he go after Vlad?- Elena, he only took 20 men. It's not precisely the exact number for a battle.Elena holds out her hand with one of her embroidery pieces, she finished some time ago.- Look at this.Without fully understanding what she wants, he takes the cloth and looks at the drawing.- Beautiful, like all your embroidery.- Don't be an idiot. I know embroidery is not your cup of tea. Please look at the drawing and tell me what you think it is.The beta does what she says. He opens the cloth and looks carefully at the drawing. It was magnificent; it looked like a perfect painting. On the fabric, a figure lies down, probably dead, while two men throw themselves at each other in a bloody fight.The beta tilts his head, looking at the details, and turns white as plaster.He looks at Elena, then at the cloth, and without strength, he falls to his knees.Worried, Elena kneels in front of him.- I always knew you were special, Elena, my Luna, my queen. Your embroidery ha
